FRANCIS BROWNING, OF WATCHEL, SOMERSETSHIRE, ENGLAND.

COMBINED CLOTHES BOILER, DRAINER, sto.

I Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 5L670, dated December 19, 18.65.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS BROWNIN'G, of'

Watchel, Somersetshire, England, at present residing at Biddeford,Maine, have invented a new and Improved Clothes Drainer and'Lifter and Clothes-Boiler combined and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specifica- ..tionsin rrhieh-l Figure l is'a longitudinal vertical section of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan or top View of To enable others to understand my inven-A tion, l will proceed to describe it.

o A represents a clothes-boiler, which may be of the ordinary or any other suitable construction.

B represents the clothes holder or receptacle, of a shape similar to that of the boiler.

In the present instance this is made with closed i sides and a perforated bottom, as shown at a a, Fig. 2; but it is obvio'us that the Whole recepta'cle can be perforated, if desired, and also that, instead of being made with closed sides and perforated bottom, it can be inade of wiregauze or be simply a wire basket.

This clothes-receiver is intended to rest upon .the bottom b of the boiler, butits bottom may .be extended down into the sink o ot' the boiler,

if desired.

This olothesreoeiver is provided with two handles, C C, one at each end, which are hinged or pivoted thereto at any suitable point. In the drawings theyare shown as pivoted to the bottom of the receiver, at the ends thereof', and extendingnp to .thetop, butsoasnot .to interfere with the placing of the lid upon theboiler.

D D are hools, which are connected to the handles C, the ooks D D being toward the inner surface of the boiler. l

When itis desired to drain the clothes, the

receptacle. is drawn up by the handles C and the hooks D D thrown over the top of the boiler,

as shown in red outline in Fig. 1. After the water has been sufficiently drained 01'1", the re' ceiver is liftedfout, and the clothes can be disposed of as desired. During this draining and cooling operatiKon-'cold Water can be thrown on the clothes to expedite the cooling.

. The receiverl does not in the least hinder th boiling of the clothes, and its'use saves a laborious aud vexatiou's work, as can be readily understood.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A c1othesreceiver,-B, in' combination with a clothes-boiler, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

FRANCIS BROWN ING.
